ACTIVITIES

Horizon Africa Safari is an owner-managed travel operation (LLC) specializing in East Africa and based in Chicago, IL.

Balloon Ride

The view of a landscape from the top is always more wonderful. Obviously you cannot hope to find tall buildings in the middle of Maasai Mara but you do have the option of taking a Balloon Ride. You will need to wake up early around 5 a.m. to take the one-hour ride. Worry not as this journey would be totally worth it. The ride takes you around at not very high altitudes so that you can see the wildlife within proximity. Travelling along the horizon while the sun rises is an altogether rejuvenating experience. This is something you cannot afford to miss while in Maasai Mara National Reserve

Wild Life Safari

Take a one-day Wildlife Safari to Arusha National Park in Tanzania and surely you will be filled with memories for a lifetime. During this tour, you will be travelling from the town to the national park area in the morning. Cutting across the diverse topography of open savannahs, acacia scrublands, cloud and rain forest, Afro-alpine vegetation and numerous alkaline lakes, you will reach Mount Meru. Here you can take a hike and enjoy a beautiful view of Mount Kilimanjaro from the top. Also you would get to closely watch elephants, buffaloes, various primates, giraffes, leopards and other animals in their natural habitat.

Mountain Climbing

A lonely mountain standing amid the clouds is what a view of Mount Kilimanjaro looks like from a great distance. It is Africa's largest mountain and the world's largest standalone mountain that is seen as a metaphor for the East African region. Now imagine walking through the coastal scrubland, cultivated foot slopes and montane forest to reach a summit where you can see endless expanse of savannahs. This is the view you get from Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. A trekking trip here can last 5-7 days if you want to reach its highest accessible point. Whichever route you take, Kilimanjaro will leave you awestruck with its beguiling beauty.
